5. The word holography is
formed by combining
parts of two Greek
words: „holos‟, meaning
“whole”, & „graphen‟
meaning “to write”.
Thus holography means
writing the complete
image.

8. A Hologram is the result of
interference occurring between two

the reference beam, which is the light

which is the light reaching the
photographic plate directly.
11. PROPERTIES
Photography, is an ordinary
photograph each region
contains separate & individual
part of the original object.
Therefore, destruction of a
portion of a photographic image
leads to an irreparable loss of
information corresponding to
the destroyed part.
On the other hand, in a
hologram each part contains
information about the entire
object

13. Conventional photography vs. Holography
Hologram:
3-d dimension of a 3-d scene.
Not only the intensity distribution of reflected light is
recorded but also the phase distribution.
To view a hologram, the wavefront is reconstructed.
Viewed from different angles, the object is
also seen from different angles.

The hologram is a complex
interference pattern . It‟s a kind of
diffraction grating.
If you tear a hologram in half, you can still see the whole image in each piece.The
same is true with smaller and smaller pieces.
15. APPLICATIONS
Holography is widely used in non-
destructive testing to study
distortions resulting from
stresses, strains, heat & vibrations

17. ACOUSTIC HOLOGRAPHY
It is easy to produce coherent
sound waves. Sound waves
readily propagate in solids.
Therefore, a three
dimensional acoustical
hologram of an opaque object
can be made.
By viewing such hologram in
visible light the internal
structure of the object can be
observed.
